[quote=JJG13]I don't like "icon languages" such as this but I suppose it would be good for a teams with no programmers that just need to throw something simple together. Plus it costs $99
. That's a little steep when we get mcc for free.
By the way we are offering CoreChartFR for FREE for the FRC FIRST 2006 competitions!
We are keen to create a more level playing field for the beginner or novice programmers to use an industry strength graphical assembler to program the IFI controllers.
We offer technical support to those FIRST teams who are using CoreChartFR. The feedback from industry mentors about CoreChartFR have been very positive.
CoreChart robotics / embedded software skills development have been used to raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Commerce Department (or Economic Development Boards as we call them in Australia) and electronics and non electronics businesses (banks, mining companies, car and wine manufacters etc) in order to sustain a long term development of a niche microchip embedded software industry. As a result thousands of students are learning CoreChart linked to science and mathematics curriculum.
The reason: to lessen the impact of the "Economic Tsunami" of billions of dollars of cheap imports from the low cost production centres in the world that is wiping out thousands of businesses and jobs!
We hope we can all collaborate to solve this global problem!
Good luck.
